Goodreads asked E.B. Dawson:

How do you get inspired to write?

E.B. Dawson I originally started writing to inspire myself. I wanted to craft a heroine that I could relate to and I wanted her to find victory in the hardest circumstances because I was feeling defeated.

I still write to inspire myself. But now I generally put to pen to paper when I want to express what I've learned. I'm not the best at communicating my emotions verbally and I'm horrible at talking about myself. But I can create a character who has gone through a similar experience and express on paper the emotional lessons he/she has learned.

Lastly, I am most inspired by people. I love meeting new people who are entirely different from me and trying to understand what makes them who they are.
